All proceeds are going to support the work of the Acumen Fund, a project that invests in entrepreneurial projects & breakthrough ideas that end world hunger.

Copernicus Science Center Wayfinding by Mamastudio

The wayfinding system for the newly built Capernicus Science Center in Warsaw, designed by local design firm Mamastudio, uses the buildings unique shape & material structure as its inspiration. The minimal use of color on the signage allowed it to blend into the fabric of the building while still being readable to the user.

I can still appreciate this brilliant little tea infuser even though I’m an avid coffee drinker.

The diver would go perfectly with the Tea Sub infuser by Ototo!

“Lights” A short film by Sunday/Parker

“Light,” a short film directed by David Parker of Sunday/Paper, is a beautiful short film that intends to bring awareness to the ridiculous amount of electricity we waste through lighting unused spaces.

David Parker, “Bleeding, crying lights were meant to metaphorically parallel the way in which we invisibly squander our natural resources without much thought. While the original sentiment remains, the film also grew into a poetic statement about a world run amok and the human tendency to exploit that which we hold dear.”
